The youngsters have grown in stature since their debuts, scoring runs across the globe. As the Indian team transitions after the retirements of legends, captain Gill has assumed responsibility in style.
Carrying on with his great form after a successful England tour, Gill scored another century at home against the West Indies and surpassed the former skipper Rohit Sharma to become the Indian with the most WTC hundreds in Delhi.
Most centuries by Indian batters in the World Test Championship history
Leading from the front, Gill scored a fifty in the series opener in Ahmedabad, but missed out on a hundred. However, in the second Test, the Indian skipper took off from where he left and did not miss the opportunity to reach the three-figure mark, scoring 129*(196) with the help of 16 fours and two sixes.
